Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "TerradiseBC", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy.

Hi, CanonNi.

Thank you for reaching out and for your guidance regarding Wikipedia’s username policy. I appreciate the opportunity to address this concern and clarify the purpose behind my username, “TerradiseBC.”

The username is a personal reference to where I live: Terrace, British Columbia. The “ce” in “Terrace” is replaced with the last few letters of the word “paradise” as a way to affectionately describe my home—an area that I consider a paradise of sorts. It is not intended to represent a company, group, organization, product, or service. I understand and respect Wikipedia’s policies, and I believe my username complies, as it reflects my identity and location rather than promoting any external entity.

To address your other points:

Account Usage: This account is solely used by me. I do not share it with anyone.

Advocacy or Promotion: I am not advocating for or promoting any company, group, organization, product, service, or website. My sole aim is to contribute knowledge about northwestern British Columbia, a rural and remote region that is often overlooked but holds significant historical and cultural value.

Conflict of Interest: I have no conflict of interest in my contributions. As a former journalist, I value impartiality and adhere to high standards of accuracy and fairness. My research is thorough, and I ensure all edits and additions are backed by reliable sources whenever possible.

I understand that adhering to Wikipedia’s standards is essential, and I am committed to improving the quality of content related to my region. For example, I’ve been working to correct subjective or outdated content in articles like Thornhill, British Columbia while contributing well-researched information to preserve the area’s history.

If there are any specific suggestions or concerns about my contributions, I am open to constructive feedback and will gladly make adjustments to align with Wikipedia’s guidelines. I sincerely hope this explanation addresses any concerns regarding my username and my intentions as a contributor.

Thank you again for your note, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to Wikipedia in a positive and meaningful way.

Best regards,
